On Monday the 2nd September this year Ethan Griffiths passed away at just 21 years of age. Ethan was the much loved son of Jaime Griffiths and brother of Oliver, Abigail and Amelia and the cherished grandson of Anne & Wes Miller and Fred & Jubjang May. Ethan died at the scene of the collision with a freight train at a railway crossing on Twigg Rd, Yenda, in the Riverina region of NSW. The accident was investigated by police and the Coroner, with eye-witnesses confirming Ethan obeyed the stop sign and looked both ways. However, tragically, the setting sun blocked all vision of the oncoming train. Had boom gates or warning signals been present, Ethan would still be alive today. It is too late for Ethan, but it is not too late to make rural infrastructure safer for local families and regional communities state-wide. His mother Jaime is now appealing for safety upgrades at that crossing and pushing for sweeping improvements across country NSW and beyond “with the aim of saving innocent lives”. Jamie has joined our group of families and is tirelessly campaigning to prevent further preventable tragedies and the rest of us are right behind her. Please watch Jaime's heartbreaking video and lend your support to this lifesaving campaign where you can. Thank you.

Our decades old fight is to make trains more visible in line with every other high-risk hazardous industry on the planet and dangerous crossings like Yarri Road safer for everyone. Advanced warning lights are critical here. Thanks to Kalgoorlie Miner journalist Carwyn Monck for following up. We are simply trying to prevent another shocking and preventable crash here. As a wise man said, the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. He was right. Yarri Road is not acceptable, I'm not walking or driving past in in the knowledge that there is a bad crash waiting to happen there. All relevant authorities have been notified by me personally there is a problem that urgently needs to be fixed. Thanks Lara

I would like to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you to the Australian country music legend Lee Kernaghan for his leadership on rail safety and his support of me and our families fighting for decades overdue reform. I have no words to express my gratitude mate! THANK YOU! 🎸🇦🇺💙
